4×4 Community

Grupo Desportivo de Manica (GDM) is situated in Manica right on the Estrada Nacional No.6, also known as the Beira Corridor and this means that despite our geographic isolation, we sometimes connect with random or interesting travellers.

An example was the 2013 General Tyre 4×4 African Adventure that passed through and parked next to GDM. After brief interactions, the trek offered GDM 2 footballs despite not having time to visit other elements of our project. Thank you to the ‘convoy’ for something small but interesting- in Africa, blessings has more to do with attitude and friendship than material possessions.

We appreciate that these adventurers showed the dignity and openness to interact with the communities they passed through on their epic journey. Thank you also to Colin from Mileman Media, for remembering us and sending through the pic!
